"The Kingdom by the Sea" is a unique and touching story of survival, friendship, and healing. Through the eyes of a young boy, readers are transported to a war-torn coast and witness the emotional and physical journey towards hope and self-discovery. Westall's beautiful prose and vivid imagery perfectly capture the essence of loss, resilience, and the power of human connection. Highly recommended for those who enjoy heartwarming and thought-provoking stories.
